first, what did your father say about your grandfather great best dwight d. eisenhower out of the war years? what was the dwight d. eisenhower's parental philosophy? >> dad summed it up in the first line of his autobiography. "i was born standing at attention." in other words, i think dwight eisenhower was probably as rewarding a parent or grandparent as you ever encounter. i think that his -- he was a tough disciplinarian. you respected that. i was sort of awed by it. but i never doubted, and i am positive my father is in the same position, that he cared greatly for us. and, that he was teaching us important things. in hindsight, he was teaching us things that were probably unattainable. how many dwight eisenhower's are there in the world? how many have there ever been? his story is literally, considering abilene, his background, one in 10 million. this is a very far-fetched thing. but he did set standards. in a way that made it impossible not to want to be better. and possible not to feel profound fondness for his energy. i think that's what he dedicated to raising my

this is one of dwight eisenhower personal heroes. someone who had been immersed in the subject over the years. they included that eisenhower had several personal heroes. one was mcarthur, the other was patton. these are people in the army. they were people with -- he would wind up commanding them himself. at any rate, he served under these people. he was separated from mcarthur. he had misunderstandings with many of them. mcarthur was critical of eisenhower's command. i would say his -- he was critical of eisenhower's public personality. you look back on eisenhower's ten-year service. eisenhower was the best clerk. he look like mcarthur. he was the finest instructor. they were united in the future. the fact is that he was learning command. and then the final line of resistance, there is the idea that forces in the last would we arm germany. the french front fails. we find ourselves in war. as churchill put it on september 3rd, 1939, this is not a question of fighting for poland, we are fighting to save the whole world for the petulanc

the oldest at that point dwight eisenhower. by two tenths of a percentage point by the times inaugurated andar gave that a soaring eloquence of the inauguration they are all in on john f. kennedy so much so that when he meets the fire of his presidency the fire had yet to come with the bay of pigs and a number of other things john f. kennedy simply can't anticipate but it says something about kennedy end of the american people at that time in another era when kennedy suffers this huge black eye with a bit of quagmire over 100 cuban nationalists were killed inhe te incursion and 1200 are taken captive. the american people approve of john f. kennedy to the tune of 83% only 5% disapprove of john f. kennedy's job approval att that time. we rallied around at the time we were fighting with the soviet union in. we know how important t it was d in many ways experienced that's the fire. the peak, the brink comes in 1962 with the cuban missile crisis where we find ourselves on the brink of the possible holocaust where we stare eye to eye

by the vacuum cans connection to what dwight eisenhower would call the military industrial complex. because the military industrial complex wasn't all about missile systems and bombers who's also about industrial strength coffee yearns. but you also have to think just for a minute. but what this world looked like for stella cahill here was a woman who grew up right on the edge of devastating poverty who never had a stable place to live and now she and ed owned their own home. out on eddy street here was a woman. who in their early days of her marriage and her early days of motherhood wasn't sure. whether husband was going to come home. now living in this extraordinarily stable family-centered world. here was this woman who in 1961 had her older daughter. in college when she had to leave school at 15. said any wonder it's still like cahill was smiling into the 1960s. and already that world built around eddie street already, there were cracks in the exclusions that that world. have created none more dramatic, none more important than the one symbolized by this young woman. elizabeth e

montgomery, american general dwight eisenhower and no less than great sovereign king george, the today's presentation is top secret. no cameras or press eisenhower. eisenhower will later joke that nazi german dictator adolf hitler could have killed every tough american and british with a single, well-placed. but the invasion of hitler's festering europa fortress is hardly a surprise. the whole world knows hundreds of thousands of allied troops been assembling in great britain for months, training each day for the singular of wrenching control of europe from hitler's grasp. sometime in the summer, coincidentally, on this very day, general montgomery graces cover of life magazine, a vivid portrait of monty's character runs inside cromwellian, in churchill's words, austere, accomplished, tireless while also playing off the journals esthetically, style, quote. he lives in complete simplicity. it's the plainest food has no recreation, except that of writing novels and detective stories. he is often impatient of human frailty, but an equally large feature runs under the headline american invad

why the undecided voters may have swung to dwight eisenhower later in the campaign was his pledge. in late october 1952 to go to korea. go to korea, then the scene of a long stalemate of a war between the united states, its south korean allies and the north koreans and the chinese. that war had begun in 1950 and by late 1952 had settled into a stalemate eisenhower, a war hero. world war two suggested that he was going to go in fact, stated openly that he would go to korea to seek a way to end the stalemate, end the conflict and the bloodletting that announced it may have been enough to. tip most of the undecided voters in his direction in any the undecided vote and how to allocate undecided voters was a difficult situation for the pollsters in 1952. criticism about the outcome was withering. a newspaper massachusetts the berkshire county eagle that pollsters were unable to tell a tidal wave from photo finish. and as i wrote in my book, lost in a gallup journalists took no sml satisfaction in the pollsters failure in 1952. editor of earl edward murrow broadcast legend f cbs news, se

uh, no doubt that the man who deserves the lion's share credit for the success of d-day was dwight eisenhower. this invasion was an extraordinary feat the largest invasion in human history still to this day that meant playing and executing that in operation was going to take a lot of work. it meant that it was going to require the combining of the military forces of several nations. and turning this polyglot force into a united fighting force was very much eisenhower's achievement getting these egos to work together was well, it was a feat in itself. we again americans i'm speaking as american we tend to overemphasize the american role in the invasion, but if you look at a map of the invasion, you'll see that of the five invasion beaches to war american but two were british and one was canadian. it's also worth noting that four-fifths of the naval vessels that took part in the d-day operation were british. churchill by the way want to take part in the d-day landings, he was so insistent that it took the intervention of george the sixth before he went back down nevertheless. he did manage to r

and this became ever more increasingly evident as when he met truman's successor dwight eisenhower when he became the president in 1953. churchill continued as prime minister until 1955 the night before he resigned. the new queen, queen elizabeth came to downing street for a banquet with churchill and his wife, clementine. anthony eaton succeeded him. sadly for eaton he probably assumed the office to light. and he w felled by the suez crisis, which unfortunately falls outside the realm of the talk. churchill continued as a member of parliament until 1964. although he was all but absent most of the time. and he died on january 23rd january, 1965. when he indicted in many ways his funeral was said to be the closing of the leadership book during world war ii. it certainly was the closing of an age. a nation a country that has already moved along. the britain of 1965, that saw churchill's funeral, was also the britain of the beatles and the rolling stones. churchill's legacy however was far from over. and there is one more story that i would like to add to this talk about him some. two year

let's recall that in 1961, dwight eisenhower who was the u. s. president warner, about the military industrial complex and the cooperation and unwarranted influence of military corporations back at $961.00. this is the president of the united states at that time. and the counsels of government. we must car guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence. whether saw orange shot by the military industrial complex, the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination in danger. our liberties are democratic processes. so when marco rubio points to the united states and says that the huge cooperation between the government and the private sector, when it comes to military matters, is an understandable example of the free market and our american system working quite well. and then he points to china and said that always completely unacceptable. and the, you know, the government there is simply some kind of military dictatorship. he really needs to look himself in t

cia, which carried out covert operations against cuba under the program approved by president dwight eisenhowerluded the hunt for the fidel with the aim of its physical destruction. already after the break in relations, operation pluto was undertaken, the landing of cuban emigrants in cachinos bay, but the revolutionary troops defeated this landing in 2 days on january 3, 2019 . chinese interplanetary automatic station ch e4 it was named after the chinese goddess of the moon for the first time in history made soft landing on the reverse side of this natural satellite of the earth, the reverse side of the moon cannot be seen in our planet and scientists have long guessed that there is the fifty- ninth conjecture divorced by the soviet spacecraft luna three, photographing the reverse side, then it was observed by the americans. they didn’t take the risk, but they found a difference from the visible country, the reverse hemisphere is literally excised by craters and depressions, the chinese descent module unloaded the lunokhod yuita, it collected soil samples and transmitted important information

the oldest president in history to that point dwight eisenhower is leaving of the youngest president elect in herio history is coming in. that's a generational shift so the torch has been passed. at that point that kennedy is captioned imagination of thepe american people. bear in mind john f. kennedy only wins the presidency by two-tenths of a percentage point. by the time he'ss inaugurated ad gives that soaring eloquence at his inauguration the american people are autolink on john f. kennedy. so much so that when he meets the fire of his presidency, , so the torch of been passed but then the fire has yet to come, and the fire comes with the bay of pigs and a number of other things that john f. kennedy simply can't anticipate. but he said something about kennedy and the american people at the time, and our country, and another era, that when kennedy suffers this huge black eye inexpressibly with the bay of pigs quagmire where over 100 cuban nationals are killed in the incursion of cuba and 1200 are taken captive, and the american people approve of john f. kennedy to the tune of 83%.

kennedy was so different from dwight eisenhower and from franklin roosevelt and from ronald reagan. but all those presidents were in the top ten of all presidents but for very, very different reasons. but by god if you love your country and you give us your very best things are probably going to wind up pretty well for the american people and for the world. >> i think the microphones are working their way around here. >> thank you very much foris th. it's a wonderful discussion. your books books are great. your stories with lbjbj is great so it's a wonderful occasion. to my questions. number one is we all learn that character is primary.y it's very important. and it's very odd that kennedy's character of public service was so exemplary and so inspiring, and his personal character was not. and this seems to be a total split between the public service that he did on the values that he hade and the private values that he had come which operate despicable if you look back at it now. second point is that you actually write the cuban missile crisis was a tremendous triumph, martin short o

dwight eisenhower signed the highway act which cleared way for the government to seize the project, and where the public works projects. >> and i was around 58 when they were ready to do the expressway, and some people started to move out. i don't know how to tell you, but it was really bad. >> reporter: the old town was sacrificed for what the government determined was necessary progress. and now, what looms overhead is going to give new hope to the historical part of the town. >> there is a lot going on to explore. >> reporter: jessica goldman strebnick and vanessa is working to have a $395 million investment to rebuild the urban landscape. >> it is going to be light. it is going to be airy, and full of landscaping and trees and green. lots of green. you are going to have bike trails and walking trails, and you're going to have art and culture. >> reporter: a new use for area overlooked for areas. >> i have experienced some pain walking underneath the underpass when it was dark and gloomy as a child. our committee is working extremely hard to prevent negative experiences that have hap

and was dwight eisenhower who said when he was leaving office, "the conjunction of an immense militaryshment, of a large arms industry is new in the american experience, and yet we must not fail to comprehend its great implications and the council of government. we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether salt or unsolved, military additional complex." the first he said the congressional military complex. "the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." the other night, even in the midst of his request for more weapons, president zelenskyy slipped in a prophetic word or the spirit slipped in a prophetic word if we were paying attention, he said, "being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace." this must be deeply wrestled with in this complex and contrary world. we need a cease-fire everywhere. according to brown university's watson institute, nearly a million people have died in the post on 11 wars. 38 million people have been displaced by war, forced to flee their homes and community's to try to make a life

the state department and the republican sweep in 1952 with dwight eisenhower and the republicans take control of congress and, the presidency for the first time since the new deal. one of the planks that the republicans were running on was to clean up the mess in washington. and it wasn't just the corruption. the truman administration, they were talking about the moral depravity of, the of the state department and j edgar hoover was spreading rumors. adlai stevenson was homosexual. and, you know, he had three strikes against him. adlai stevenson he was a bachelor. he was a former and he was an intellectual. right. so those three things were were kind of it was it was like three strikes. they were associated with homosexuality. so i have just going off in different directions, both of you. but i first i want jamie can you tell the joe alsop story of blackmail? because i know you've told it, but it's such a great story and touches on so many. right. joe alsop is one of the most powerful, all influential columnists around the 1940s and fifties. and he was visiting moscow in 1957. he had
